菌根真菌促进植物磷吸收研究进展

土壤中低浓度的有效磷水平成为限制植物生长发育的主要因素。植物—真菌菌根共生可以显著提高植物吸收土壤中磷的能力,促进植物生长发育。该文对土壤中磷酸盐的形式、丛枝状菌根和外生菌根两种菌根类型的形态学特征和促磷吸收的发生机制、植物中已克隆的菌根特异性或诱导性磷转运蛋白,以及丛枝状真菌共生信号转导途径等进行了综述。     

丛枝菌根真菌对植物生长影响的研究

菌根是自然界中一种极为普遍和重要的共生现象,其中分布最为广泛的菌根类型就是丛枝菌根,可以增强植物从土壤中获取水分的能力,改善植物根系对磷、镉等矿质元素及养分的吸收,从而促进植物的生长。本文综述了丛枝菌根真菌对植物生长影响的概况。有关丛枝菌根真菌对植物水分和矿质营养的利用,尤其是磷素营养的研究较为深入,而对植物光合特性的研究较少,这些研究工作为深入理解菌根真菌与植物的相互关系提供基础资料。     

丛枝菌根真菌吸收磷酸盐的数值分析

本文利用对流扩散方程和菌丝长密度方程对丛枝菌根真菌的菌丝体吸收磷酸盐进行数值分析,研究了土壤缓冲能力、土壤含水量、磷酸盐的初始浓度、菌丝的平均半径和磷酸盐的扩散系数等五个参数对菌丝体养分吸收的影响.结果表明,土壤缓冲能力、磷酸盐的初始浓度和菌丝的平均半径都能促进菌丝体吸收磷酸盐;菌丝体吸收磷酸盐最强位置随三个参数值的增大分别向左移动、保持不变和向右移动;磷酸盐的初始浓度值不会影响菌丝体耗尽土壤中磷酸盐的时间;当菌丝的半径大于3×10~(-4)cm,菌丝体吸收磷酸盐的通量变化很小;在菌丝生长初期,根表面吸收磷酸盐强于菌丝体,在菌丝生长中后期,菌丝体占主导作用;菌丝体吸收磷酸盐的最大通量与土壤缓冲能力和磷酸盐的初始浓度呈线性相关.由于磷酸盐易被土壤吸附和固定,且溶解度较低,模型中的土壤含水量和磷酸盐的扩散系数对菌丝体磷酸盐吸收通量的影响不显著。土壤环境、资源和菌丝的形态共同决定菌丝体磷酸盐的吸收.     

丛枝菌根真菌促进南美蟛蜞菊生长及对难溶磷的吸收

为了解2种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)摩西管柄囊霉(Funneliformis mosseae, FM)和地表球囊霉(Glomus versiforme, GV)对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata)的生长和对难溶性磷酸盐利用的影响,采用沙培盆栽方式,研究了南美蟛蜞菊在接种AMF与添加难溶性磷酸盐的生长和磷含量的变化。结果表明,在磷限制环境下FM对南美蟛蜞菊的侵染率达55%～69%,GV的侵染率达到63%～80%。添加难溶性磷酸盐后,2种AMF均促进了南美蟛蜞菊茎的伸长(FM:+46%; GV:+65%)、总生物量的增加(FM:+27.2%; GV:+40%)和磷含量的增加(FM:+36.6%; GV:+40.7%)。对比FM,GV对植物利用难溶性磷有更显著的促进作用。因此,南美蟛蜞菊与2种AMF形成的共生体系可以促进植物生长和对营养资源的利用,提高对难溶性磷的吸收效率可能使得南美蟛蜞菊在营养贫乏的环境中更好地建立种群。     

丛枝菌根真菌对植物次生代谢的影响

丛枝菌根(AM)是自然界中分布最为广泛、最为重要的一类菌根,许多研究已经观察到丛枝菌根真菌与植物次生代谢的相关性,丛枝菌根真菌能够直接或间接地影响植物的次生代谢过程。植物的次生代谢产物主要分为萜类物质、酚类物质和含氮化合物(主要是生物碱)三大类群,该文简要介绍了丛枝菌根真菌对这3类植物次生代谢产物的影响。丛枝菌根真菌与萜类物质代谢关系的研究比较细致和深入,有些工作已经从细胞及分子水平探讨其间的作用机制,如Blumenin、类胡萝卜素等。丛枝菌根真菌与酚类物质代谢关系的研究也比较深入,其中具有特殊功能的酚类物质——植保素、细胞壁酚酸、类黄酮/异类黄酮等倍受关注。目前有关丛枝菌根真菌与生物碱关系的研究相对较少,不过现有的研究表明,菌根的形成有助于生物碱积累。     

龙脑香科植物对丛枝菌根真菌的影响

在天然林地和温室盆栽条件下,比较研究了龙脑香科植物对丛枝菌根(Arbuscular mycorrhizas,AM)真菌孢子密度、相对多度、频度、属的组成、丰度和侵染状况等方面的影响.结果表明,用坡垒作盆栽寄主加富培养后,菌根侵染率、泡囊、丛枝和侵入点都低于原采样植物,以原坡垒土壤中栽植苗木的侵染率为最高,可达20.3%;而以望天树根围土壤栽植的苗木为最低,仅为10.6%;坡垒还不同程度地改变了原采样植物根围土壤中AM真菌孢子的密度、相对多度、频度、属的组成、丰度等.在4种土壤中,栽植坡垒苗木后,AM真菌的孢子密度都有不同程度的增长.采用与原采样相同种类的植物作为AM真菌加富培养的寄主更有利于促进AM真菌的生长发育、保持AM的多样性.     

丛枝菌根真菌对植物耐旱性的影响研究进展

丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)能与植物根系形成互惠共生体,对植物的生长发育和抗逆性有积极的影响,在改善植物水分代谢和提高植物耐旱性中发挥了重要作用.本文综述了近年来AMF与植物水分代谢关系的研究进展,从植物的光合作用、蒸腾与气孔导度、水分利用效率、水力导度、渗透调节、内源激素和抗氧化系统等方面说明AMF对植物水分代谢的影响.从4个方面介绍了AMF提高植物耐旱性的机理:1)菌丝网络增加植物根系吸收范围;2)增强植物保水能力和抗氧化能力;3)稳定和改善土壤团聚体;4)促进植物养分吸收.并提出今后研究需注意的问题和建议.     

土壤中镉对丛枝菌根真菌Glomus mosseae生长的效应

采用分室培养法,在同一宿主植物生长的土壤中设含有0、5、25、50mg/kg4个不同浓度重金属镉的菌丝生长室(用30μm尼龙网与根系隔开)以期建立在宿主植物生长状况完全相同的条件下研究环境因素对AM真菌直接影响的新方法,并在此基础上探讨不同浓度的重金属镉对丛枝菌根真菌Glomus mosseae(BEG167)生长的直接影响。结果表明,与不施加镉的处理相比,土壤中施加低浓度镉(5mg/kg)刺激了G.mosseae的生长,其菌丝总长度最大;高浓度镉(大于25mg/kg)抑制了G.mosseae的生长,其菌丝总长度较小。AM真菌的代谢活性与土壤镉浓度的关系也表现出与菌丝生物量相同的规律。以上结果表明:G.mosseae在镉污染环境中有应激反应的特征,即:当G.mosseae受到轻微毒害时,为了适应其生存条件的改变而不断增加其代谢活性和生长量来降低镉的毒害。此外,本方法用于研究宿主植物生长状况相同的条件下,重金属毒害或其他环境因素对AM真菌生长代谢的直接影响是可行的。     

丛枝菌根真菌对植物繁殖的影响研究进展

丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, AMF)与宿主植物所形成的互惠共生体系是生态系统中广泛分布的共生体系代表类型之一。AMF除能够促进宿主植物生长发育外,也可以对宿主植物的繁殖过程产生多方面影响。研究宿主植物在AMF共生状态下繁殖策略的变化规律,对于深入理解植物繁殖适合度的变化具有重要理论意义。该文综述了AMF对宿主植物繁殖影响的相关研究,包括AMF的侵染对宿主植物繁殖分配、花部特征、虫媒传粉和花期的影响。目前已有研究发现某些AMF能够促进宿主植物增加繁殖资源投入,提高花朵产生的数量或花冠直径,同时增加花粉数量和花蜜量来影响访花昆虫的行为,以及造成开花提前及花期延长,但其作用的具体机制尚不明确,且因宿主植物的差异,并未有完全统一的结论。然而,由于AMF与植物共生的普遍性,其在植物繁殖过程中发挥的重要作用不可忽略。今后除了在以上各方面开展更深入的研究外,还需在AMF对宿主植物繁殖性状的影响机制、AMF共生条件下植物有性繁殖过程中雌雄功能的资源分配,以及对无性繁殖和后代适应性的影响等方面进行更深入的研究。

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen uptake

Nitrogen (N) is among the most important macro-nutrients significantly affecting plant growth and yield production. Accordingly, N must be supplied adequately so that optimum amounts of yield are resulted. There are different ways of supplying N to the plant including the use of chemical and biological fertilization. The chemical properties of N make it very mobile, especially under humid conditions. Hence, N must not be overfertilized with respect to the economical and environmental points of view. N Biological fertilization includes the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) including the N-fixing bacteria, rhizobium. There are also arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in the soil, which are symbiotic to most terrestrial plants enhancing plant growth and yield production through increasing the uptake of water and nutrients by the host plant. Numerous experiments have indicated the important role of AM fungi in enhancing P uptake by plant. However, it is yet a matter of debate that how AM fungi may affect soil N dynamic and hence plant N uptake. Some of the most important and recent aspects regarding such effects by AM fungi are highlighted, which can be of significance to health and productivity of the ecosystem.     

AM真菌增强孔雀草耐阴性的效应

于温室盆栽不同光照条件（遮光率分别为0%、24%、48%、72%、96%）下,对孔雀草Tagetes patula进行接种丛枝菌根（arbuscular mycorrhiza,AM）真菌幼套近明球囊霉Claroideoglomus etunicatum、摩西斗管囊霉Funneliformis mosseae、球状巨孢嚢霉Gigaspora margarita和不接种对照处理,测定孔雀草菌根侵染率、生长指标和生理指标,旨在评价AM真菌对孔雀草耐阴性的影响。结果表明,供试AM真菌均能侵染孔雀草根系形成典型的丛枝菌根,不同遮光处理均以接种F. mosseae的侵染效果最佳,强光及弱光均不利于AM真菌侵染,当遮光率为24%时,孔雀草生长状况最佳。与不接种对照相比,接种F. mosseae显著提高了孔雀草株高、茎粗、叶面积、根冠比、比叶重、着花数和花茎,单花花期延长,提高了根系活力、叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素和可溶性糖含量,降低了脯氨酸含量,光补偿点下降,光饱和点升高,最大净光合速率增大。结果表明,适当遮荫有利于孔雀草生长发育,接种AM真菌能增强孔雀草对光照的适应能力,促进植株生长发育,减缓弱光造成的损伤,增强其耐阴性,且以接种F. mosseae效果最好。     

丛枝菌根真菌促进入侵植物紫茎泽兰的生长和对本地植物竞争效应

外来植物与入侵地土壤丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)的互作和反馈已被认为是许多入侵植物的重要入侵机制之一。为进一步探究入侵植物紫茎泽兰(Ageratina adenophora)竞争替代本地植物过程中AMF的作用,本研究首先测定了林下和林地边缘两类生境中紫茎泽兰和本地植物的AMF侵染率和AMF含量,结果表明,2种生境中紫茎泽兰的菌根侵染率和AMF含量均显著高于本地植物,且菌根侵染率与AMF含量呈显著正相关。温室盆栽试验结果进一步表明,接种AMF显著促进了紫茎泽兰的生长,且对硝态氮和有效磷的吸收能力优于本地植物香茶菜(Rabdosia amethystoides),同时降低了竞争中本地植物香茶菜的菌根依赖性,提高了紫茎泽兰对香茶菜的竞争优势度。本研究进一步证实AMF有利于促进紫茎泽兰的竞争性扩张。     

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance P uptake and alter plant morphology in the invasive plant Microstegium vimineum

Invasive plant species can interact with native soil microbes in ways that change how they use nutrients and allocate biomass. To examine whether Microstegium vimineum form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and whether AMF mediate nutrient acquisition and growth of the plant, we conducted a field survey in Raleigh, NC and Hangzhou, China and two experiments in growth chambers. This is the first report that M. vimineum is mycorrhizal, with colonization rates of 47 and 21 % in its native and invaded range, respectively. In the growth chamber, addition of an AMF inoculum mixture significantly promoted M. vimineum biomass accumulation in both field and sterilized soils, particularly after 64 days of growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi also increased plant phosphorous (P) uptake but did not consistently affect total plant nitrogen (N) acquisition, leading to decreases in plant N:P ratios. More interestingly, AMF significantly altered plant morphology, increasing the number of stolons and aerial roots per individual (59 and 723 %), aerial roots per gram aboveground biomass (374 %) and aerial roots per stolon (404 %). Our results suggest that mycorrhizal enhancement of plant growth by stimulating tillering may serve as another mechanism by which M. vimineum can quickly take over new territory. Future studies on invasive plant-microbial interactions are needed to understand the mechanisms through which microbes contribute to the competitive ability of invasive plants.     

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi might alleviate aluminium toxicity in banana plants

Under defined laboratory conditions it was shown that two glucosinolate-containing plant species, Tropaeolum majus and Carica papaya , were colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, whereas it was not possible to detect AM fungal structures in other glucosinolate-containing plants (including several Brassicaceae). Benzylglucosinolate was present in all of the T. majus cultivars and in C. papaya it was the major glucosinolate. 2-Phenylethylglucosinolate was found in most of the non-host plants tested. Its absence in the AM host plants indicates a possible role for the isothiocyanate produced from its myrosinase-catalysed hydrolysis as a general AM inhibitory factor in non-host plants. The results suggest that some of the indole glucosinolates might also be involved in preventing AM formation in some of the species. In all plants tested, both AM hosts and non-hosts, the glucosinolate pattern was altered after inoculation with one of three different AM fungi ( Glomus mosseae , Glomus intraradices and Gigaspora rosea ), indicating signals between AM fungi and plants even before root colonization. The glucosinolate induction was not specifically dependent on the AM fungus. A time-course study in T. majus showed that glucosinolate induction was present during all stages of mycorrhizal colonization.     

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and biological control of Verticillium-wilted cotton plants

The interaction of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus etunicatum, Glomus intraradices, and Glomus versiforme) with a wilt-causing soil-borne pathogen, Verticillium dahliae, was studied in cotton. It was found that establishment by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi reduced disease index. In diseased cotton plants colonised by G. etunicatum, the disease index was less than other diseased mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal ones. In diseased cotton plants, chlorophyll content was lower than others. Three Glomus species significantly increased content of sugar and protein in shoot and root. Pathogen-infected plants had higher proline concentration in shoot and root than healthy plants. On the other hand, the increased content of proline as stress sensor showed that Verticillium accelerates senescence and reduces yield. These results suggest that the beneficial effects of mycorrhiza can alleviate the pathogenesis effects of V. dahliae partly, and also there is a competitive interaction between the pathogenic and symbiotic fungi.
